If somebody like Steve Hilton can't win in California, Iβd rather the state continue to struggle with affordability, poverty, high taxes, high energy prices, heavy regulation, and poor educational results. Voters should have to live with the consequences and be forced to examine why their beliefs aren't working. You guys have a stranglehold on CA; you should have to own it.
@tyleraloevera These people are not our enemies. Their numbers are so insignificant. We should be focusing on the Southern border and mass legal immigration from the third world, which dwarfs the population of Jews 10x over.
California benefits from great weather and its location, meaning it would have a high GDP regardless of who was running it. However, it still struggles with severe housing unaffordability, the highest poverty rate in the nation when adjusted for cost of living, the highest top marginal personal income tax rate in the country, the highest base state sales tax rate, and some of the highest fuel and regulatory gas taxes in the U.S. It also suffers from heavy regulatory burdens, complex labor laws, high compliance and litigation costs, sustained corporate out-migration, and multi-year trends of net domestic out-migration. Additionally, the state faces a disproportionate concentration of homelessness, representing roughly 30% of the U.S. homeless population, alongside some of the highest residential and commercial electricity rates in the continental U.S., below-average student achievement rankings in reading and math despite high per-pupil spending, spikes in organized retail theft and property crimes in urban centers like San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles that lead to store closures and locked merchandise, and a volatile budget overly dependent on capital gains and top-earning taxpayers. It is also less American than Arkansas.
@DragonsEyeImage He's making you guys look stupid, which helps. The fact that CA is such a mess and Dems have had a super majority for so long it really is a red mark against your entire ideology.
@DanCrenshawTX If you want to be taken seriously you cant say things like "woke right". Also, we are never going back to the Bush or Mitt conservatism. That didn't conserve anything. The only thing that I care about is mass immigration and putting American workers before everyone else.
